Bostrychia hagedash at Lake Navaisha
Photographed at 2:41 pm on 8 February, 2014 at Lake Navaisha, Kenya, using an EOS 1D X camera and an EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II super-telephoto lens.
ISO 100, 1/320 sec., f/2.8, 400mm focal length, handheld Manual exposure.

On the second visit to Lake Navaisha, Kenya, the flat-bottomed boat was sufficiently low to the water that the lens looked straight over at waterbirds.
This adult Bostrychia hagedash, Hadada Ibis, was actively probing for nutrients less than three meters away from the boat, its plumage iridescent in the sunlight.
